Progressive Conservative candidate for Charlotte-the-Isles, Sharon Tucker, is furious at the government’s inaction in dealing with the impending closure of the St. George Food Bank and tells us if she's elected MLA for this riding, this injustice will not happen, and that she will work with the people of the riding to address this issue and fix it immediately.
The last time that the province’s food banks received an increase in funding was under the former PC government in 2005, who pledged an increase of two per cent for three consecutive years.

Musquash Accidents
The volunteer firefighters in Musquash responding to a pair of serious accidents. Shortly after 4 in the morning, a car overturned on Highway One near the Gilmore Subdivision. The driver managed to get out of the car on her steam and appeared to be unhurt.
She was taken to hospital to be checked out. Around 10:30 last night, a car struck a moose on Highway One near Mink Brook Road. The car left the highway and was discovered upright in the bushes. The driver was rushed to hospital by ambulance.
In between, they also had to lend some help to a boater who got stranded in the East Branch Musquash River because of mechanical problems.
